Cake help please...

kharv, 18 October, 2011 at 23:31 Posted on Planning 0 14

We are getting married near Grantham next March and I'm really struggling to find a cake supplier.

I have contacted a few but they either haven't replied at all or they've been overly expensive. I only want something very simple.

Does anyone have any recommendations of cake suppliers that may be able to deliver to the Grantham area?

Any help greatly appreciated - I'm starting to lose patience!

    Three or four tier square cake to feed about 180 people. Lemon sponge.

    Not bothered about any fancy icing but ideally I'd like really sharp corners and edges.

    Budget is up to £500 but obviously if I can get it less than this then that would be a bonus.

    Think I may have already contacted her but I'll check - cheers!

    Anyone else?

    Marks and Spencers or Waitrose - both do really pretty stylish cakes in a range of styles with different flavour cakes as well. They also do cake bars so you can have a smaller cake for looking at and then they cut the bars behind the scenes to serve everyone else. I was amazed at their range and the price compared to individual cake decorators. You could prettify it with your own cake topper or ribbon

    They're all too small I'm afraid and I don't think either do lemon. Cheers though.

    Hope that may help

    Hi,

    I have used both nicci snook and Emma at truly scrumptious this year for my clients weddings, they are both very reasonable. depends of what design you are looking for really.

    Take a look at my blog on my website below both suppliers cakes are on there, look under paula & Kristion and Alexandra & Kim

    Hope that helps ?

    Are there any wedding fairs happening near you?

    Thats where we found our cake lady, we loved her designs and her cake was amazing it was great being able to taste the cake and see some designs at the wedding fair plus we got to have a chat with her.

    I think its hard looking for a supplier online
